Cosmetic surgery is an extensively broad term for specialities that focus on improving a person’s appearance.
Traditionally, aesthetic medicine includes dermatology, reconstructive surgery and plastic surgery.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck is a common procedure and is a good option for those who have tried dieting and exercise, but with little lasting effect. It aims to give a flatter stomach.
Both men and women can undergo tummy tuck surgery and usually experience good results and a long-lasting change in their abdomen’s form. It’s not the same as liposuction, although you may choose to get liposuction along with a tummy tuck.
This is a major surgery, so if you’re considering it, you should know the facts before you decide whether to go forward. The tummy tuck is a suitable cosmetic surgery procedure for people who:
- Have tried successive regimes of dieting and exercise but failed to reduce tummy fat or tighten the muscle in their abdomens
- See themselves as having excessive fat and sagging skin on their lower abdomen in proportion to their overall body mass
- Have sagging skin and lax abdominal muscles as a result of pregnancy (usually multiple pregnancies)
- Have excessive fat and or sagging skin and lax abdominal muscles as a result of ageing
- Are not obese and are in general good health, apart from the excess weight on their abdomens
- Are not planning to lose excess weight post-op (tell your surgeon about any diet or exercise regime you are planning).
Blepharoplasty
Excess skin on the upper and lower eyelids may make them droop or look puffy, while bags under the eyes may give one a permanently tired look.
Blepharoplasty surgery is often used in conjunction with other rejuvenating surgeries and has the effect of making your face look altogether more rested and younger.
This is a simple enough intervention that could last up to 2-and-half hours. Incisions are made in the natural creases of the skin to avoid scarring as much as possible, and fatty deposits are either removed or distributed and muscles tightened.
Brachioplasty
Arm lift surgery or brachioplasty is used to return the upper arm to a firmer, sleeker and altogether more youthful look.
Brachioplasty is ideal for anyone who has tried diet regimes with little lasting effect, has sagging skin due to ageing or has excessive fat in the upper arm in proportion to their overall body mass.
Brachioplasty is a common procedure for patients who have experienced massive weight loss.
Brazilian Butt Lift
A Brazilian butt lift is a specialised fat transfer procedure that augments the size and shape of the buttocks without implants. This procedure is also called Body Contouring Surgery as excess fat is removed from other areas of the body, to be placed in the buttocks.
This can be removed via liposuction from the following areas:
- Hips
- Abdomen
- Lower back
- Thighs
Our skilled cosmetic surgeons can improve the proportions of the entire lower body with Brazilian butt lift surgery, helping a patient lose fat in common “problem areas” and enhancing the buttocks, with results lasting many years.
While pain is typically minimal and easily controlled through pain medication, you will not be allowed to sit or lie directly on your buttocks for about 2 weeks after a Brazilian butt lift.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is more commonly known as a Boob Job. It is surgery to increase breast size and it involves placing breast implants under the breast tissue or chest muscles.
For some women, breast augmentation is a way to feel more confident. For others, it’s part of rebuilding the breast for various conditions such as medical issues or even after childbirth,
Our professional and highly trained team will make sure you understand what surgery involves, including possible risks, complications and follow-up care as well as helping find the right shape and size for you.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a process to remove excess localised, fatty deposits which have defied exercise or diet. These areas of stubborn fat can be located on the:
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Back
- Buttocks
- Cheeks
- Chest
- Chin
- Hips
- Legs
- Waist
Cellulite is not removed during Liposuction.
Liposuction is not a solution to obesity and does not replace the need for exercise and a healthy diet. Following the procedure, if a healthy lifestyle is not followed results will be reversed.
Mammoplasty
Breast reduction or ‘reduction mammoplasty’ is a cosmetic surgery procedure that reduces the size of breasts that are overly large in proportion to a person’s frame.
Breast reductions are carried out on both men and women and can help people gain a more positive outlook on life and feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin. The surgery involves the removal of excess skin and tissue (fat and glandular tissue) and the repositioning of the nipples.
Breasts are reshaped to normal contours to suit their reduced size. The end result is usually lighter, firmer, shapelier breasts better proportioned to one’s size and frame.
Mastopexy
Mastopexy or breast uplift surgery reshapes and repositions breasts that have lost firmness.
It is designed to remove excess breast skin and underlying tissue to give a firmer look and feel to breasts. Some people find that they have one breast lower than the other and undergo Mastopexy surgery to correct this asymmetry.
Others might not be happy with their breast size and therefore choose to have breast augmentation or reduction carried out at the same time. Mastopexy itself does not alter breast size but it can reduce the size of the areolas around the nipples.
Nipple Correction
Nipple correction surgery is a simple and relatively pain and hassle-free cosmetic surgery procedure. Most women choose the procedure to correct inverted nipples, but it can also reduce or enlarge nipples and remove any puffiness of the areola or the area surrounding the nipple.
Nipple inversion is usually congenital, but can also be caused by scarring after breastfeeding, from infection or earlier breast surgery. Many women also request nipple correction to make sure they can breastfeed.
Otoplasty
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a very common cosmetic surgery procedure to correct or reshape protruding ears and large ear lobes. Otoplasty may also reconstruct parts of the ear that are damaged or missing through accident and injury or from birth.
This procedure can be carried out on children and adolescents from age 4 upwards.
The goal of this type of surgery is to improve both the functional and cosmetic appearance of the ears. Frequently, psychological trauma is associated with such features.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a surgery that primarily changes the shape of the nose and one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures. Some people undergo the surgery to improve breathing as their nasal structure has an impact on their airway.
Rhinoplasty is generally carried out only on people whose facial features have matured, so as a rule it is not performed on minors less than 15 to 16 years of age other than in extreme circumstances.
Rhytidectomy
A face lift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing the visible signs of ageing on one’s face.
It can help reduce wrinkles, firm up sagging skin, eliminate deep furrows, reduce heavy jowls, and remove or redistribute fatty deposits under the skin.
Overall, a face lift can help you look the best you can for your age by giving you a fresh, rejuvenated facial appearance.
Face lifts can be performed on the whole face (a full-face lift) or just on the brow area, lower face, or neck only. A face lift can only be performed surgically.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy for varicose and spider veins. This is a medical procedure used to eliminate varicose veins and spider veins.
Sclerotherapy involves an injection of a solution directly into the vein. The solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to swell and stick together, and the blood to clot. Over time, the vessel turns into scar tissue that fades from view.
Sclerotherapy is often done for cosmetic purposes — to improve the appearance of varicose and spider veins. The procedure can also improve related symptoms such as:
- Aching
- Burning
- Night cramps
- Swelling
Thigh Lift Surgery
Thigh lift surgery, or thighplasty, works on the inner and back of the thigh. Many people find that with ageing and particularly after drastic weight loss, they have loose, sagging skin and tissue inside their thighs.
If you have tried exercise and diets to improve thigh tone with little effect, thigh lift surgery may be the route to take. The surgery is not aimed at fat removal so you may be recommended to have liposuction first.
Your surgeon will then assess the extent of any resulting loose skin, and advise you on whether a thigh lift is appropriate.
Vaginal Rejuvenation
Vaginal rejuvenation is a painless and minimally invasive laser treatment.
This treatment, although sounding scary, is quick, easy and pain free. It helps to restore comfort and wellbeing to women who suffer from vaginal discomfort, a common side effect during menopause or after childbirth.
With no pain and no downtime, our highly-skilled team are on hand to answer any questions and to guide you through your treatment.
